Anyone have the experience of their symptoms changing sides?
Most of what I have experienced in the past (numbness, weakness, tingling, joint pain, chest pain, TMJ) has been on the left side.
I woke up this morning feeling weird--knees on both sides felt weak, then got painful for a while, sort of shaky and spacey, pounding heart (haven't had that in a long time).
Things eased a bit throughout the day, but at supper, I started getting pressure in the right side of my head, then had the weird muffling of my hearing in the right ear followed by ringing.
Now the right side of my head/face feels sort of tingly, like I had at the beginning of this disease.
It has been about 30 days since I started Doxy again, plus it's probably less than a week till my monthly visitor, so I'm figuring PMS plus either a herx-type reaction or flare.
Have I said lately how much I hate this disease?

Happens all the time with lyme. The particular muscle that aches can wander from side to side, leg to arm, neck, back, you name it.

I was just going to post a similar question. I haven't been diagnosed, my dr thinks I might have Lupus. I have an appt Mid Jan with an Infectious Disease dr that I got from the list I was sent. I have pain that changes daily. Usually my knees bother me but sometimes it is my lower back or wrists or fingers. A lot of days I have pain in my right calf. Sometimes I get tingling toes or fingers. Sometimes my eyes get dry too, but not sure if that is a Lyme symptom. Everything started in September. With symptoms above, would this seem like a new infection or something that has built up for awhile. I live in deer country so anytime is possible.
